Frederick Licht, originator of the wheat flake and founder of the Patent Cereals Company of Geneva, and its vice-president, died at the home of his son, Louis J. Licht, last Tuesday morning, July 11, at about four o'clock, aged 79 years. He had been living alone in a suite of rooms on Exchange street for some years. It was there he liked to entertain his young boy friends, of whom he had a number, and they always called him "Grandpa Licht." There he would get up suppers for them, tell them incidents of his early days, and always with some good morals attached. Not alone the boys, but he made friends everywhere. He was an honorary member of the 34th Separate Company and of Hydrant Hose Company. He loved amusement that was clean. When he was taken sick a week before, his sons each wanted him at their homes, and finally he consented to go with Louis J. His illness did not last very long; it attacked his heart and he passed away quietly and easily. He was an honest, good old man, and will be greatly missed. One of the three sons, George F., is Mayor of our city, and another, Louis J., is Eminent Commander of Geneva Commandery No. 29, Knights Templar, and all the sons inherit the same honest traits of the father. They have been brought up in the business, and it will go on as smoothly as before.

Suicide of Wm. S. Liddiard of Stanley - No countryman was better known in Geneva than William S. Liddiard of Stanley. Ever since the "Stanley Creamery" was established, Mr. Liddiard has been a semi-weekly visitor to Geneva, running a double team, selling the product of the creamery in choice butter and sweet buttermilk, and, in season, eggs and other truck.  He was a genial, plain-spoken man, and everybody with whom he had dealings had a liking for him.  Well, poor old "Bill Liddiard" is no more !  He has shuffled off this mortal coil by his own hand.  The story is thus told by a Stanley correspondent of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle: About 9 o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning William Liddiard, a citizen of Stanley, committed suicide at his home by shooting himself while suffering from temporary insanity.  For two days past Liddiard had been acting strangely, which was attributed to the use of drugs, to which, however, he was not addicted.  Last Saturday night he drove his family, consisting of his daughter and two grandchildren, out of doors by threatening to shoot them.  Early next morning he stabbed himself three times with his jack-knife and when Dr. Craft, of Stanley, was dressing the wounds, he pulled a pistol and attempted to shoot, but the doctor and others in the room escaped, whereupon Liddiard locked himself tightly in his room, putting the bedstead against the door.  Later, about 9 o'clock, the party, reinforced, were endeavoring to gain an entrance, when they heard two pistol shots in rapid succession, and thinking the shots intended for them, retired hastily, leaving the insane man to his devices until noon, when a constable from Gorham broke in the door and found the man dead.  Coroner Hollenbeck, of Canandaigua, was summoned, and the body placed in an undertaker's care.  Liddiard was 60 years of age, and had always lived in Stanley.  His wife died about three years ago.  Since then Mrs. Cameron, his widowed daughter, with her two children, have constituted his family.

Dropped Dead - Mr. George Lightfoot, colored, an insurance agent, died suddenly of heart disease yesterday afternoon. About 4 o'clock Mr. Lightfoot, who was a very fleshy man, was walking past Pembroke's saloon on Castle street when he became faint and seemed about to fall, when Mr. Pembroke called him in and told him to rest.  He still had difficulty in getting his breath, and went out on the back stoop to get more air.  Mr. Pembroke saw that he was about to fall, and laid him gently on the floor.  Dr. Stebbins was summoned, but by the time he arrived he was unconscious, and expired in a few moments.  

Kennedy's ambulance was sent for and his body cared for.  Mr. Lightfoot had only recently moved to Geneva, and was an unusually intelligent man.  He had won the respect of all who knew him and was a perfect gentleman.  He represented the Mutual Reserve Insurance Co. of New York, and did a flourishing business.  He leaves a widow.

Lewis R. Lombard, the well-known grocer and merchant of Orleans in the town of Phelps, died last Thursday aged about 67 years.  He was a member of Sincerity Lodge No. 200; F. A. M., of Geneva Chapter No. 36, R. A. M., and of Geneva Commandery 29, K. T.  In the latter order he was made an honorary member about a year ago, as his infirmities were such that he was unable to meet with his fraters.  The funeral was held from the Baptist Church at Orleans Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, attended by the officers of the Commandery as escort.  He leaves a lonely widow but no children.  He was when in good health one of the best fellows in the world.  He had been confined to his home and store with rheumatism for many years.
